you're probably tired of talking about mizumono coatgate 2k14, but if hannibal actually had taken the coat (which he 1000000000000% absolutely positively did not) don't you think that moment would've been important enough to include during the episode? honestly. bryan probably read stuff the delusional hannigram shippers wrote on tumblr/twitter after the ep aired and agreed to make himself look like the hero for the sake of receiving validation from the fans.
yup. they had ample time to show him taking the coat if that was indeed their intention. but it wasn't.
I'm sure if they thought about it at the time they would have gone for it. they seem to love doing anything that will make Hannibal the supreme overlord of evil dark prince of hell bastard jerkface the eighth
